—In this paper, we study the routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) tasks in WDM rings with heterogeneous wavelength conversion capabilities. By heterogeneous, we mean that diff...
Abstract- This paper describes an algorithm for optimally placing a given number of wavelength converters in All-Optical Networks(A0Ns) with arbitrary topologies. We first introduc...
— In WDM optical networks connection requests can be classified into three different types: Permanent Lightpath Demands (PLDs), Scheduled Lightpath Demands (SLDs), and Random Li...
— We study the problem of determining the minimum number of limited range wavelength converters needed to construct strictly, wide-sense, and rearrangeably nonblocking optical cr...
—Most research works in routing and design of optical networks assume that the optical medium can carry signals without any bit error. However, the physical impairments on the op...
